Pouk matematike v naravi v 1. razredu osnovne šole

Gregorc, Lucija (author), Manfreda Kolar, Vida (mentor)

Matematika je pomemben in ključen člen vsakodnevnega življenja, ki povezuje različna predmetna področja in s svojo naravo pomaga vsakemu posamezniku razumeti in živeti v okolju, ki ga obdaja. Zaradi tega je zelo pomembno, na kakšen način pedagoški delavci približajo matematiko učencem že v najzgodnejšem obdobju osnovnošolskega izobraževanja ter tekom šolanja njihovo vnemo negujejo. V zadnjem času pa beležimo podatke, da motivacija za učenje matematike pri učencih razrednega pouka v Sloveniji močno pada. V magistrskem delu smo predstavili pojem pouka v naravi. Opredelili smo njegove pozitivne učinke, ovire pri izvajanju le-tega ter predstavili načine, kako lahko pouk v naravi povežemo s poukom matematike. Raziskali smo tudi pojem motivacije, predstavili vrste učne motivacije ter načine, kako lahko krepimo motivacijo učencev za učenje matematike. Eden izmed možnih načinov je prav izvajanje pouka matematike v naravi. Namen empiričnega dela raziskave je bil ugotoviti, ali se bo motivacija učencev 1. razreda osnovne šole dvignila po izvajanju pouka matematike v naravi, obenem pa smo želeli učiteljem razrednega pouka pokazati inovativen način izvajanja pouka matematike izven učilnice. Prav tako smo želeli raziskati, ali so učitelji razrednega pouka seznanjeni s pedagoško-didaktičnim pristopom poučevanja matematike v naravi, kako pogosto izvajajo pouk matematike v naravi ter kakšna so stališča in mnenja učiteljev razrednega pouka o poučevanju in učenju matematike v naravi. Rezultati so pokazali, da se je motivacija učencev za učenje matematike po končanih urah pouka matematike v naravi dvignila. Prav tako smo ugotovili, da so učitelji razrednega pouka seznanjeni z izvajanjem pouka matematike v naravi, vendar si ga želijo izvajati pogosteje. Učitelji menijo, da je pouk matematike v naravi koristen za kakovostno poučevanje, obenem pa si želijo idej, na kakšen način bi ga lahko uresničevali.

• Title: Mathematics learning and teaching in nature in the first grade of elementary school

Abstract

Mathematics is a very important and key concept that connects different aspects of our lives and helps us understand and interact with our environment. It is therefore crucial how pedagogical workers present mathematics to pupils in the earliest stages of their primary education. It is vital that teachers try to motivate pupils to learn the basic concepts of mathematics and actively engage them. However, in the recent years, statistical data has shown that motivation for learning mathematics during the first yearsof primary school is strongly decreasing. In this work we present the concept of teaching a class in nature. We identify the positive effects and challenges of outdoor learning and present how learning in an outdoor environment can be merged with learning mathematics. We research the conceptof motivation, look into different kinds of educational motivation and present how pupils can be more motivated for learning mathematics. One of the ways to increase motivation is teaching the mathematics class in an outdoor environment. The purpose of this work was to empirically establish whether the pupils in the first year of primary school get more motivated when math classes are held outside. Secondly, the goal was to present positive effects of teaching mathematics outside to primary school teachers and show them innovative ways of teaching mathematics outside of the classroom. Furthermore, we researched whether primary school teachers are familiar with the pedagogical/didactic approach of teaching mathematics outside, how often they use this approach and what their opinions are about teaching classes – specifically mathematics – in an outdoor environment. The results have shown that the motivation for learning mathematics among pupils has indeed increased. It has been foundthat primary school teachers are familiar with this approach and that they are keen on implementing it more often. Teachers have also stated that they think teaching mathematics in an outdoor environment is beneficial for the quality of learning. However, they wished that ideas for such form of classes were more readily available for implementation.
